Did this as a exercise and am fed up with my fruitless searching.
Went and create an CLR assembly and all with min hassel. Now that I
have that dll out there, I am tring to find some system table or some
display in management studio that shows me where the file is located on
the hard drive and cannot locate it.
Can someone please point me in the correct location.
I want to find whether SQL Server 2005 x86 is installed or SQL Server 2005 x64 is installed programatically(Any API would do.) If anyone can recommend a registry key that I can rely on find whether it is a 32 bit or 64 bit SQL Server that would suffice.
I have a mixed CLR assembly (including native C++ and manage C++). Can I use this assembly in SQL SERVER 2005 or 2008? I know pure managed assemblies work fine. Thanks.

I am building an installer. Based on the version I need to code my install script.
I'm using SQL Server Express on Vista. I can't remember whether or not I installed the service packs for SSEE. Is there a quick and easy way to find out?
VS2005 has a deployment feature that uses a database connection string to automatically connect to SQL2005 and create the assembly and procedures within the IDE. I am unable to access this feature from MSBUILD or any other command prompt utility so far which is a requirement for our internal build procedures.
I am looking for the ability perform a command line deployment of a SQL CLR project and pass in the proper server and database name also on the command line (or config file if necessary).
Does this functionality exist out of the box? If not, any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
We are needing to script to find out if our servers have a full version of SQL Server installed or if it is just SQL Express that is used by one of our backup software vendors. How can we do this? Currently, we are having to go into each server and look at the SQL console. Anything that someone can suggest would be greatly appreciated as we have hundreds of servers to go through. Thanks much in advance. Cathy
I am encountering a timeout expired error when deploying a .NET assembly in SQL Server 2005 using Visual Studio.NET. I already enabled SQL Server for CLR. Whenever I run the CREATE ASSEMBLY command in SQL Management Studio, my query just ends up executing without stopping.
Hi, I can't seem to find which SQL Server Compact Edition version is pre-installed on the Windows Mobile 6 rom. I guess it is 3.0, but I'm not sure about it. Another question is, if I use SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 by deploying the .dll files as part of my application's CAB installer, will this be a problem for Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6? Thank you in advance,
I am trying to get information of SQL Server licensed key which is installed on our servers. I am using SQL Server 2005 standard edition. Is there a way to find out the product key which is installed on servers. I did some searches and found some thirdparty software to get that information but I don't want to use them on production, is there a way which microsoft recommends.
Hi Friends, I have a question. At my home computer i downloaded and installed VWD. As usual it also installed Sqlexpress as part of the installation(i checked the option). Later on i downloaded Management studio separately so i am fine with my home computer as every thing is free. But at work we decided to develop application using VS 2005 and Sqlserver 2005. So we bought and installed VS2005 professional edition at work and it also installed Sqlexpress during the installation as a defualt desktop engine. I am fine with that too. But i am not understing where do i get the Management studio? Is it some thing i could get it off the web for free or what? I am not sure we would have an option while installing the VS 2005 professional that also does install management studio and we need to check that option. I am not sure if we could get the management studion off the web for free and and evelop applications.

I've installed the MS SQL Server 2005, and when I click on Start->Programs-> MS SQL Server 2005->Configuration Tools, there are 3 options given:
1.SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting 2.SQL Server Configuration Manager 3.SQL Server Surface Area Configuration
My objective is to have a database where I can play and refresh my skills in T-SQL. I would want to create or view tables and data. I've already downloaded CodePlex's sample database and installed it, but it is not showing. How can I configure these server to show tables and stuff?
I'm not a DBA but a programmer, and don't have the luxury of going through tons of documentation for this thing to get going. Any help would be appreciated.
I installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional then after that was installed and running, I tried to install the the SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition which installed but I do not get the SQL Server 2005 Studio Manager. I have remove and reinstalled but it never gets installed. Any ideas?
I've just installed Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server 2005. I'm running thru the painfully slow video tutorials from Microsoft (see here).
I've open Web Dev and tried to create a new SQL Database Item, only to receive this error:
"Connections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL http://microsoft.com"
I'm totally new to this, but this still makes no sense.
My company wants to combine our SQL2000 and SQL2005 severs onto one server. If I install SQL2000 and 2005 on one server and migrate the data bases will I have any performance issues? Is there any issues or conflicts known by putting them both on the same server?
I have just installed SQL Server 64x on Vista 64 but when I try to find the server in SQL Management Studio nothing appears to connect to. I did run the program to make my Vista login a SQL Admin. Any ideas why?
I have 2008 installed and have 'smoke tested' it (tried it on the several projects and don't appear to have any show stopper type issues). Anyways, I'd really like to remove VS 2005 if at all possible. My concern is what effect removing that is going to have one the following other installs:
SQL Server 2005 Express SQL Management Studio (Enterprise NOT Express) .NET Framework v2.0
If anyone can weight in on the effect uninstalling 2005 is going to have, or ways to 'safely' uninstall it without affecting any of the other installs, please let me know...
I am really in a fix.I have downloaded the trial version from MIcrosoft site and run setup with named instance. But I cannot find my management console link anywhere. Can anyone help me here .
My site is : Windows XP Professional SP2
Installed : SQLServer 2005 180Day Trial Pack downloaded from Microsoft Network.
I ran setup from : server directory and also from tools directory.
In my programes menu I can only see Configuration Toolsunder which there are three options :
I am in the process of installing SQL 2005 on a new server that is also going to have MS CRM 3.0 installed
CRM needs the .net 1.1 which has you run "cscript %SystemDrive%inetpubAdminScriptsadsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1"
I installed .net 1.1 32-Bit and 2.0 64-Bit on the server. Then cscript %SystemDrive%inetpubAdminScriptsadsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
During the initial stages of the SQL install I receive the foloowing warning:
- ASP.Net Version Registration Requirement (Warning)
Messages
ASP.Net Version Registration Requirement
32-bit ASP.Net is Registered. Required 64-bit ASP.Net to install Microsoft Reporting Services 2005(64-bit).
Do I need to run cscript %SystemDrive%inetpubAdminScriptsadsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 0 before the install of SQL and then cscript %SystemDrive%inetpubAdminScriptsadsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1 after?
Or do I need to install SQL 2005 64-bit without reporting services and then install SQL 2005 32-bit reporting services on the same server?
i have sql 2000 as default server & then i installed sql server 2005 with instance name. From my application when i try connecting to sql server 2005 i have the follwing error
here is the error message
SQL Read on : An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)
In the surface area configuration under remote connections i have select Local/remote & tcp/ip
i have no idea about ports or any other default setting whic need to be changed.
When i am connecting from the application i have just changed the connection string by adding instance name alone & it dosent work. new connection string for 2005 Password=test;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=eCom;Initial Catalog=ecommerce;Data Source=server external ipinstance2005
old connection string for 2000 Password=test;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=eCom;Initial Catalog=ecommerce;Data Source=server external ip
i have problem when connecting from application but i have no problem logging from management studio using ip or server name
Please let me know what the problem is.Any help is appreciated..
I am attempting to install SQL Express 2005 on a laptop that already has MS Sql Server installed.
I downloaded the SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE from Microsoft's website and let it go through its installation routine accepting all the default answers.
When I open SQL Server Management Studio Express, I can only connect to the SQL 2000 instance. I have issued the 'SELECT @@VERSION' command, and When I try to connect to the instance COMPUTERNAMESQLEXPRESS, the following error message is displayed: Cannot connect to YOUR-F8A010A9D0SQLEXPRESS. An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure my be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)
When I go to remove SQL Express 2005 using the add/remove programs, there is a check box that says "Remove SQL Server 2005 instance components" and in the box underneath where it lists all the instances it says: "No instances have been installed"
I need to be able to programmatically detect whether or not SQL Server 2005, anything from Express on up to the full package with all the bells and whistles, is installed on the computer regardless of which service pack (if any) is installed. I found a forum article that provides a Registry setting that I could look at, but in the reply to the original post, it recommends using WMI instead of Registry keys. Also, I don't know whether or not the Registry key given for SQL Server 2005 would be present for even the minimal package. (Our requirements are for at least the Express package, and I understand that there's an even more basic package than that.) I'm maintaining a couple of installers that use 5-year old InstallShield technology (and Visual Studio 6 for any C/C++ code that I have to create) that have to check whether or not SQL Server 2005 Express (or a fuller package) is installed. I have done no SQL Server programming, so I've never even heard of WMI. Also, because these are installers, they have to work out of the box with no requirements to install anything beforehand to allow the installer to work. (We are working on an MSI-based installer with a bootstrap executable (the latter built using Visual Studio 2005) that will replace the older installers in the next version of our software, but we still need to support the older installers for now. Therefore, an out of the box solution that works with the older technology that we are still using for the older software is imperative. As the older software supports Win2k, the SQL Server detection solution must do so, too.)
I am installing Sql Server 2005 on top of WindowsSBS 2003 and VS 2005. After I finish installing it I cannot see where the enterprise manager is. Basically I only get Microsoft Sql Server COnfiguration tools. Am I doing something wrong or this is the way it is suppose to be? I had installed all the features from SQL Server 2005. I appreciate any help!
I created a mdf file but couldnt for the life of me install it into SQL Sever Express [and when I say install i mean attach]. When I used SQL Server Ent, I had no issues. The only warning I got was that my mdf file was used by another process when I tried to attach with VS 2005 [ which is correct because ent had it]. I think mdf files are pretty touchy. Does anyone have any good articles on best practices? It seems you cant have a db with the same name as your attachment [ which would make sense] or have mdf files in the Data directory of your SQL Server instance you are trying to attach to. You will get the unc share error if you do. I think I need to start using user Instances but I could be wrong. You cant use them in ent but maybe i will solve my issue with attaching db files to express. I noticed that by default express doesnt install in mix auth mode and there might be some issues with access. How does everyone else normally install their mdf files for quick deployment [ say you want to deploy your db with your app so that users can quickly get started] ?
I am a bit out of my league here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
On a Windows SBS 2003 R2 server. I am trying to add Integration Services at the request or an external Consultant group. I ran the install & followed the bouncing ball from this article
The only odd thing is that it didn't give the option to pick an instance (only Microsoft SQL Server 2005).
It seems to install fine, no pop up error or anything but the SSIS service isn't installed. If I try & connect to it via the SQL Server Management studio - Selecting Integration Service in Server Type I can browse for the server name but on connecting it says " Connect to SSIS service on machine "Riley" failed
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
& looking through the list of Services I can't find it.
I have uninstalled Integration services & reinstalled twice now but the same result (no service) ... what am I doing wrong, it seemed so simple from the instructions.
